This Guy's an Endguy?!: Bacterion Commander from Gradius Galaxies- it pretty much just floats there waiting patiently for you to kill it. It doesn't fight back.
Easy: Chaos from Final Fantasy I Advance- The fight consisted entirely of Red Mage and Black Mage casting Haste, then Temper on my Warrior, and my White Mage casting Healaga every round. This is as close to "blatantly unfair in my favor" as I can get.
Medium Difficulty: Lavos Core from Chrono Trigger- First two forms weren't so bad, the third form with its ever shifting defense was. This is only "medium" because I had the ever-gamebreaking combo of Crono's Rainbow Katana (70% critical hit rate?! Highest attack power a katana can have?! SOLD) and a Wrath Armband (80% chance of counterattacking any enemy action that affects its wearer, including Lavos's temporal shifts?! DOUBLE SOLD) And yes, I know the DS release has the even more broken Dreamseeker Katana with its 90% critical hit rate.
Kinda Difficult: SABATO from Trauma Center: Under the Knife- For the record, there's a 2000 polygon limit on what the DS can draw on screen. The minibugs SABATO produces evidently don't count as polygons, so I had to keep alternating between scalpel slashing, bug lasering, wound suturing, and lidocaine injecting in order to finally kill this mother@$#%er. (On an unrelated note, shaddup, Chrome, I know how to spell lidocaine.)
You've Got to be Kidding: Cycloid Emperor from Duke Nukem 3D- I don't want to say this is a hard fight, but let's just say the all guns cheat code gave it some pretense of fairness.
AAAARRRRRRGGGH!: The entire Orbital Battle Platform from Zone 66- The whole damn stage. The fastest, most maneuverable fighters in the game, armed with machine guns? Check. Machine gun turrets? Check. Twin missile turrets? Check. Only three friendly landing pads? Check. The whole. Damn. Stage.

Well, excuse me while I defy all laws of logic and common sense and do it anyway.
